Re^3: How to interpolate CONSTANTS in Here docs?

Anonymonk has explained the syntax; but I thought I'd add that I'm not keen on doing it that way. Personally I prefer:

#! perl -slw
use strict;

use constant {
    OUT_DIR      => 'out',
    OUT_FIELDSEP => '=',
    OUT_FILENAME => 'ks',
    OUT_SUFXSTOR => 'storable',
    VAL_MIN      => 15,
    VAL_MAX      => 3600,
};

printf <<USAGE, OUT_DIR, OUT_FILENAME, OUT_SUFXSTOR, OUT_FIELDSEP, VAL
+_MIN, VAL_MAX;

This program does this and that with the %s. The filename is
%s and the file suffix is %s.

Fields are separated with the %s character. Enter a value
between %s and %s.
